What a time it’s been since our largest-ever conference brought together nearly 2,500 mission-driven lenders and partners in Los Angeles. From October 21-24, we celebrated 40 years of impact and explored the road ahead for community development finance. 💡 Highlights Included: - A $25M innovation grant from MassMutual Foundation to scale CDFI impact - 160+ sessions, 400+ speakers, and 1,000+ first-time attendees - A special screening of The Barber of Little Rock and live discussions - Groundbreaking announcements, networking, and much more! Couldn’t attend? Don’t worry—plenary recordings, photos, and session decks are available online! Comment "Recap" for the blog. Let’s keep the #OFN40 conversation going as we pave the way for the next four decades of progress. #CDFIs #EconomicOpportunity #CommunityDevelopment #OFN40
